Property Description for 574 Metropolitan Ave

The Forray Team at The Corcoran Group is pleased to exclusively present 574 Metropolitan Avenue, a distinguished mixed-use frame building offering exceptional scale, income potential, and long-term upside in the heart of prime Williamsburg. Positioned along one of the neighborhood's most active commercial corridors and moments from McCarren Park, this property presents a compelling opportunity for investors, developers, and end-users seeking a trophy asset in one of Brooklyn's most dynamic markets.

The property spans approximately 3,840 gross building square feet and sits on a 24.75 ft 75.08 ft lot. Zoned R7A with a C2-4 commercial overlay, the asset benefits from a 4.0 FAR and approximately 3,592 square feet of remaining buildable area, allowing for a total buildable of 7,432 square feet. This zoning profile provides meaningful expansion, repositioning, or redevelopment potential. With annual real estate taxes of approximately $8,616 under favorable Tax Class 1 status, the property offers attractive carrying costs relative to its scale and location. Currently offered at a 5.23% Cap Rate.

The building is configured as three residential rental units over a ground-floor & lower level retail space, consisting of a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit over a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit over a studio apartment, with a commercial retail storefront. This layout provides strong income-producing capability while offering flexibility for an owner-occupant seeking supplemental rental income, a long-term investor targeting Williamsburg's resilient rental market, or a buyer exploring repositioning and value-add strategies.

Generous ceiling heights, multiple exposures, and prominent frontage along Metropolitan Avenue create an adaptable foundation for renovation, modernization, or vertical expansion. The mixed-use configuration further enhances revenue diversification and long-term appreciation potential.

Ideally situated near the intersection of Metropolitan Avenue and Lorimer Street and just moments from McCarren Park's expansive green space, recreational amenities, and year-round farmers market, 574 Metropolitan Avenue places occupants within immediate reach of Williamsburg's renowned dining, retail, nightlife, and cultural destinations. Convenient access to the L and G subway lines provides seamless connectivity to Manhattan and throughout Brooklyn.

Whether pursuing a cash-flowing mixed-use investment, an owner-occupied opportunity with income offset, or a development play leveraging significant unused FAR, 574 Metropolitan Avenue offers a rare combination of scale, zoning flexibility, and premier Williamsburg positioning.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
